on sherlock 3x01, spoilers abound.

[herrin]

Very good, Mr. Holmes. Really, I must applaud you. And your brother, for a change.

[ irene, as a whole, seems more than a little bit pleased. ]

Though, was that bit with Ms. Hooper meant to make me jealous? Anderson appears to have quite the imagination. I rather liked the version of you and Mr. Moriarty being intimate; I had always wondered.

[ she's wearing her customary smile. let's see. now that you've been dead, can she still get under your skin? ]

[seesobserves]

How could it possibly be to make you jealous? I hardly have control over Anderson's fantasies.

[herrin]

Oh, naturally.

[ not going to dignify that last bit with a response? well, then. ]

Ms. Hooper's fiancé is .. rather familiar looking, isn't he?

[seesobserves]

Stylistic similarities. They haven't been together long enough for her to influence him, thank God; she didn't make him get that haircut. Likely she doesn't even realize.

[herrin]

But you and I do.

[ and it's hilarious. though, on a somewhat more serious note. ]

I'm surprised you let her go.

[seesobserves]

Well, I'm hardly gonna be fitting dates in around terrorist plots.

[Deliberately blithe. Nothing to see here, nope.]

[the_new_sexy]

I believe that Anderson's imagination is out of my control. Your feelings on the matter are the same.

[herrin]

Oh, don't say you haven't thought about it!

[ feelings? what feelings? she has no feelings. nope, no feelings here, none. ]

I'm not surprised Dr. Watson hit you. You rather deserve it.

[the_new_sexy]

Thought about what, Woman? Anderson's imagination? I'm more surprised that he has one.

[herrin]

Two geniuses; one dastardly, the other [ stupidly arrogant ] respectable -- meeting clandestinely on a rooftop. Why, that story practically writes itself.

[ except for the bit where it wasn't clandestine at all, really. ]

He was the only one to figure it out, you know. You ought to give him more credit.

[the_new_sexy]

I wouldn't call Jim Moriarty respectable, Woman, though I accept your description of me wholeheartedly.

[wealldosillythings]

Wh-What? Jealous? With me?

[What bizarre alternate universe has she stumbled into.]

[herrin]

Now, don't get excited. I never said it worked.

[ she forgets you weren't in anderson's head. oops. ]

[wealldosillythings]

Right. O-Of course it didn't. Because that's....silly.

[herrin]

I rather like your new .. fiance, was it?

[wealldosillythings]

Tom. Yeah, Tom's his name. He's...nice.

[hadbadays]

That makes two of us. I thought they were kind of made for each other.

[herrin]

I may prefer to think that is how he did it.

[hadbadays]

Eugh. I really wouldn't.

[herrin]

Jealous?

[hadbadays]

No. Sherlock's the jealous kind, not me.

[acclimatize]

Why would you be jealous?

I thought you preferred women.

[herrin]

[ things are rarely so black and white as that. ]

I did say that, didn't I?

[acclimatize]

Yes, you did.

[herrin]

[ have a predatory grin. ]

Perhaps I was jealous of Mr. Holmes, then.

[acclimatize]

Oi. You be nice to her.
